"textContent": "Feature Request: Inline Side-Chat for Explanations\n\nProblem: When studying or coding in long chats, asking about a single confusing line, error, or concept in the same thread disrupts the main conversation and makes the chat cluttered.\n\nProposed Solution: Allow users to highlight text and open a temporary floating or side mini-chat for explanations, debugging, translation, or follow-up questions without affecting the main thread.\n\nBenefits:\n\n * Keeps the main chat clean and focused\n\n * Improves study and coding workflows\n\n * Enables faster contextual learning\n\n * Reduces context disruption during long conversations\n\n\n\n\nOptional: Allow users to send useful answers back into the main chat if needed.",
